Good morning. I am listening to a calming CD of tranquil waters sounds that my friend gave me for Christmas yesterday. She also gave me this necklace of twinkling Christmas lights, yep, and it is so NOT me, but you know, I wore it the rest of yesterday but I did turn the lights off, when I showed some people what it looked like twinkling, I swear, it does make you laugh and then some. My friend meant well and for that I love her.
I woke up today in love with the world. Happy I have my husband to myself this weekend, no step kids, no step grandkids, just my man and I and I oh so love that.
We need to get to the grocery as planing on fixing a ham for Christmas day, I am not much of a cook but I know I can't kill that one! He invited his single brother to join us too, I didn't ask if he said yes, but just assuming he will be here too on friday.
I work 3 days next week then have 11 beautiful days off and so looking forward to extra time with hubby since he doesn't work anymore himself.
I read my last week's therapy assignment to him yesterday when I got home from work and explained some stuff with it. He listened and has learned to be sympathetic, not "yes but" or "others had it worse than you". What a journey we have had and are having. I love when he listens to me and he hears that his childhood was so NOT my childhood.
Life is good and I know I will always be managing my depression and anxiety, but I also believe God is with me too, and if I do my part, He will do His part.
I do hope to eat LESS in 2010 as this excess weight isn't good for me long term. But not going to go crazy and starve myself as I keep hearing God say the 12 step slogan: Easy Does It. Meaning don't turn this into a crazed effort of counting every morsel of food or eating like a bird.
Will be doing my saturday morning ritual of 3 miles on the treadmill here directly, have my breakfast, then crawl back into bed with the man of my dreams.
Thanks God for my life, ALL of it. I love Christmas, I love this time of the year. I love making my own traditions now with my husband. I want my life, I don't want to fit into a Norman Rockwell painting that isn't realistic for where I am today. Josie.

I'm so glad you are feeling good today.
Hi Josie,
You sound like such a wonderful person!!!!!!
HI Heidi:
Deb: Oh my heavens, 16 inches, yikes! And me and my state job, I would still be expected to make it to work, everyone there is "essential".
I have a bunch of OA materials, even got the monthly magazine for years, the thing I couldn't grasp my mind on is most of them advocate giving up ALL sugar, flour, I mean like nothing is left to eat but plain meat, fruits and vegetables, I just can't believe that is healthy, besides which, the Bible says all food is clean,
